...Are you trying to seperate your post into stanzas or something? This entire thread makes no sense.

*prepairs to beat the crap out of videogamerz*

Nah. I'm just trying to get a little help. Ignore the poll, if need be.
I'm just trying to start up a website, but I forget which programms and such to use.

You need exactly two programs: an FTP client and a text editor. You use the FTP client to log into the server and put your crap up for view of anyone with the proper permissions. The text editor is for making the page. C'mon, HTML isn't that hard, its not like you're learning C or something here.

Chances are you need to buy space and addresses and such from a company like Fuitad. Unless you have a static IP and a spare computer with a server OS running, but if have that then why you're asking this question would make my head implode.

or a ssh client thingie. thats what i use.

videogamerz2000 · 10-11-2004, 11:54 AM

Anybody know how to run it off Netscape, or whatever. Cause that's the only programm thingy I have so far...

GatoFiero · 10-11-2004, 05:58 PM

Ok, in order to actually make the page, you have two options.

1. Use notepad.exe which can be found on every computer. Enter your html code. Save. In order to check it, right click on the file and open it using a browser (netscape in your case).
2. Use Dreamweaver (huzza), FrontPage (hiss), or other programs of the like to make your page. These are html editors which make creating a web page much faster.

Once you’re done making your page you then need to host it on the internet.

Code:

<html>

<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFF00">

This is an example of a cheap ass web page<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Now I hope your 
paying attention..</p>
<ul>
	<li>Look, an unordered list!</li>
	<li>Another bullet!</li>
	<li>Ok, I'm board.</li>
</ul>
<ol>
	<li>Ordered list</li>
	<li>w00t!</li>
	<li>ok, I'm board.</li>
</ol>
<p><font size="5">Text</font> <font size="4">size</font> changes.</p>
<p><font color="#00FF00">Text</font> <font color="#FF0000">color</font>
<font color="#0000FF">changes</font></p>
<p><a href="http://www.nuklearpower.com/">Here's a hyperlink!</a></p>
<p>Here comes an image.&nbsp; Don't worry, you shouldn't be able to see it since 
you don't have the image file...unless you download your avatar to your desktop.</p>
<p>
<img border="0" src="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/johnkeefer/Desktop/cliff%203.jpg" width="98" height="100"></p>
<p>Cool huh?&nbsp; You can also make the picture a hyperlink but I'm out of time 
right now.</p>
<p>Join me next time when I talk about pictures as backgrounds, tables, frames, 
buttons!</p>

</body>

</html>

Edit - Oh yes, it's very important that your notepad doc have the .html extension and not .txt

As for tools, I use two, notepad and wordpad. As for "Running it off of Netscape", wha?! Umm... Well, uh... er... that is... What are you talking about? Netscape doesn't create pages, nor does it host them. You can load your page into netscape, but well... that shouldn't really be difficult in any way.

If, as it appears to me, you really have no idea whatsoever what you're doing, maybe you should rethink creating your own page. We can help you out if you have specific questions, but right now it looks like you just don't know anything at all about it...
